Idk, I personally think about this a lot and it’s something I’m pretty passionate about. With the way online storage is viewed and how the web has been enshittified to no end, it’s kinda terrifying to imagine how all of these videos, movies, music and general art posted online could cease to exist in the blink of an eye because we don’t have a robust network in place geared towards saving what is produced. Like, you could swipe up or down on some website and never see an image/video again.

When I take a step back, I consider the fact that maybe this is a utopian vision and we can’t save everything. But then I fucking think about my time how I learned about how private companies have these networks in question to preserve their “data” that would not even exist in a world that made the slightest amount of sense because it has no value whatsoever. And yet, they have the power and resources to ensure it’s kept safe at all costs
